Flute Lessons

in Waldorf.

Amazing Teachers.

I hold a degree in Music Education and has been a flute instructor for years. I offered quality flute lessons to students from beginner to intermediate level.

Also, I incorporate music fundamentals such as sight reading, scales, rhythms, practicing techniques and performance skills into all my private flute lessons. Additionally, elementary and advanced music theory studies are included in flute lessons to help each student feel more comfortable and confident when playing the flute in any musical environment

My teaching experience includes students between the ages of 8 and 70. I believe in the individual approach and decide what music books and methods to use and recommend after the first few lessons with the student. Playing the flute is a great skill that lets you appreciate and express music. It also enhances your focus and the quickness of your mind since you think of a few things simultaneously while playing. For fun you can play your favorite song, compose one or play duets with your teacher.

I've been playing the flute for over 25 years and teaching for 15. I teach beginning to advanced - age 5 to 99!

I have studied the flute for about 17 years, and I been teaching the flute for about 8 years. I began teaching beginners in band sectionals, and have since had experience with beginners, advanced, adults, and everyone in between.
I strive to help my students bring out their artistic voice. Through a solid technique foundation and fun exercises, I can help you on your way to success and beautiful self-expression.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in music. I have more than 9 years of experience teaching students music both as a private instructor. I want to provide you with a supportive environment where you can learn and reach your potential just like I have done in the past with former students. I believe this is crucial in order for learning to happen.

Let's work hard together to improve!

I studied and played flute for 13 years, and have particular experience in 20th century music. I with studied Greer Ellison, a premier Baroque flutist, and teacher of Alexander Technique, and so have a solid foundation in breath management and alignment. If you find that your shoulders and back get particularly tense and tired while playing, I would be able to help you fix that.
